Novak Djokovic and Nicolas Almagro: I don’t know if these two actually played any tennis during this exhibition in Taiwan, but I would definitely pay top dollar to watch them try to beat each other up.

Ana Ivanovic: There’s something very cool about the international nature of tennis when you can find a group of kids in Beijing who are major fans of a female Serbian tennis player.

Li Na: Is that cardboard cutout supposed to be Li Na? Nice to see that pirated copies of Adobe Photoshop are getting heavy use in China.

I'd definitely like to get a feel for those two trophies myself. The cups and silverware and stuff on the shelf is cool too, I guess...

LikeI sort of imagined Nadal's trophies inhabiting more of a shrine than a shelf in what I guess is his bedroom....

Likethat's not "cool". that's just lame. he's a grown-ass man. he needs to move out and be an adult. good grief. why would someone applaud a grown man that won't leave home? ridiculous.

LikeEricWilson I think it's more common for children to live with their parents into adulthood in Mallorca than in the U.S.

LikeEricWilson It shows that the success hasn't got to him and that the most important thing to him is his family and he wants to be surrounded by them at all time when he's not traveling non-stop around the world. Who cares about the appearances? oh yeah, you...

LikeJohnDoolittle EricWilson Yeah, if I spent half the year jetting between Beijing and Melbourne and London and New York, in my off time I wouldn't mind being close to family.

LikeCool to see a multimillionaire like Nadal still having a small unassuming room at his parents home where he puts all of his trophies.
